I had no signal at all inside the stadium. THIS WAS THE BEST SPORTING EVENT I’VE EVER BEEN TO! We were sitting in the Oklahoma section, goosebumps throughout the entire 4th quarter!!!!

Cell Reports did a recent Q&A with Chris Morrison and myself on our recent papers: cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

Q&A with Christopher Morrison and Matthew Potthoff

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a liver-derived hormone that signals the brain to coordinate behavioral and metabolic adaptations to fasting, dietary imbalance, and changing energetic demands....

Please check out our latest paper in Cell Reports describing the mechanism for FGF21-mediated reversal of obesity. We identified that the hindbrain (NTS/AP) and NOT the hypothalamus is the target for FGF21 to decrease body weight. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

Pharmacological administration of FGF21 reverses obesity through a parabrachial-projecting neuron...

Lin et al. reveal that FGF21 acts on the hindbrain (nucleus of the solitary tract [NTS] and area postrema [AP]), and not the hypothalamus, to reduce body weight. Specifically, FGF21 signaling to the...

At the same time, Christopher Morrison's group at the Pennington Institute found that FGF21 signaling to the hindbrain mediates FGF21's effect on energy expenditure on a low protein diet: cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

FGF21 signals through hindbrain neurons to alter food intake and energy expenditure during dietary...

Spann et al. identify glutamatergic, Klb-expressing neurons in the hindbrain (NTS) that mediate the response to protein restriction. Activation by FGF21 is necessary for changes in food intake and...

This was not a planned co-submission but it is cool that our papers are complimentary and came out at the same time.

How is this “hiding out”? 5 got lined up and checked with side judge a full yard inside the sideline. No players or others on the 2 yard boundary zone. DB’s got caught up jawing with 4 and lost track of 5. Poor execution and coaching by AU. Own it!

The main issue is the NCAA rulebook does not define what a “hideout tactic” constitutes. That’s the argument I would use if I’m OU. And if the officials do not want this to happen again, the rulebook should be updated with a clear definition of a “hideout tactic”.

According to a source, in its regular pregame meeting with game officials, the OU staff brought up the planned play (Sategna TD) and sought confirmation it was legal. @NEWS9

If this is deceptive hiding, I have to assume the Jason Bourne movies were based on real life Isaiah Sategna.

Ok, serious question. I know I’m not the first person to say this, but why do people, particularly scientists, refuse to update the pictures of themselves on social media and or websites? I think I’m going to start posting “then versus now” pictures of people…
